So....everyone knows about the Boston BM Drama i have been having...and they finally decided to drop out of my wedding....3 months before and after all the dresses were ordered....WHICH i laid out money for.
Well, last week, i get a call from the dress shop. My dress was being held because they refused to pay for their dresses. My dress has been paid off since July!!!! LAST YEAR!The dress shop said, because I gave my CC to order their dresses, i was responsible for not only their dress balances...but the shop charged me $225 to do 3 standard bustle points. WTF. After fighting with the dress shop, i got the alterations charge waived since cmon...225 for a bustle...are u kidding me. I needed no other alterations...and their contract said 10 bucks per point. My MIL said its like they were trying to get money from me one way or another. I still had to pay for the other gowns though.
Long story short...i had it out with the former BM last week as well...and i am thinking about driving up to boston and outting her ...since shes been cheating on her husband. (I have pictures and video to prove it)...although i am better then that...it has crossed my mind.
I asked her to send the check to me and i get this response in email:
What I find fascinating about this whole thing is you cannot even consider the time, effort and money I put into your wedding and bachelorette invitations and write this whole fiasco off. All you see is money.
Whatever. Jeez, as a friend...and as a bridemaid, i thought there was some work involved. but i guess not. Ive been a MOH and BM before. laid out thousands of dollars...never b-tched about paying for a dress which was rightfully mine when i agreed to be a BM.
anyway, we called the local news when all this went down...and the station wants to do a segment on what happened....but since the dress shop rectified their situation...its going to be a story on "WEDDING WOES...the hidden charges brides dont know about"
Since i have had this happen with every facet of my wedding........ the venue nickle and diming us, making false promises, to the charges to rent equipment which pays for it 10xs over....etc. i think it needs to be out there for people to see before they get suckered in to spending 40grand on a wedding like i did.
What would you girls add to this????
